题目内容

One sixth of undergraduates（本科生）in Beijing this year have registered at a driving school. The students, mostly from majors such as business management or international trade, will finish their driving courses within 20 days or so.

Training costs have dropped to 2,600 yuan for students, according to the Haidian Driving School in Beijing. The price is not really low, but students will accept it, seeing it as an investment in their future. Familiarity with the operation of computers and fluent English are the basic skills graduating students need to find a job. But a driver’s permit has become another factor.

“In the job market, owning a driver’s permit sometimes strengthens a graduating student’s competitiveness for a good position,” says Zhou Yang, an undergraduate at the China University of Political Science and Law.

Cars will become a necessary part of many people’s lives in the coming years, and it’s difficult to get a permit out of campus because of the pressures on working people’s time. “Having a full-time job after graduation offers limited time to learn to drive. We senior students have plenty of spare time, plenty of opportunities to learn.”

Xu Jian, an official at the driving school, said undergraduates were very able and serious, and could grasp in an hour what it took ordinary people four hours to learn. In this driving school, middle-aged people, young women and college students are the main customers.

To get a driver’s permit, a beginner is now required to have at least 86 hours’ practice before the final road test.

1．The undergraduates are learning to drive because___________.

A．they like to drive cars

B．they need this skill to find a good job.

C．most of them will be able to buy cars in the future

D．they want to become full-time drivers after graduation

2．Which of the following is Xu Jian’s opinion of students learning to drive?

A．He decided it was a waste of money and time.

B．He thought they must learn it at school.

C．He thought they would spend three times more time.

D．He agreed that young people had an advantage in learning to drive.

3．Which of the following would be the best title of this passage?

A．Students Learn to Drive

B．Welcome to Driving School

C．It’s Better to Learn to Drive at College

D．Students Pay Less to Learn to Drive Now

Britain and Ireland
　　The British Isles is made up of two large islands: One is called Ireland and the other __16 . Britain, or Great Britain, is the larger of these two islands, and it is17 into three parts: Scotland, Wales and England.
　　The United Kingdom is that 18  of the British Isles ruled over by the Queen. It is made up of Scotland, Wales and England, that is, the 19  of Britain, and also about one sixth of Ireland, the Northern part. The 20 of Ireland is self-governing. The 21 name of the United Kingdom is 22  “The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland”.
　23 is larger and richer than Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, and has the largest 24   of the United Kingdom, so people often use the 25 “England” and “English” when they 26  “Britain” and “British”. This sometimes makes the Scots and the Welsh a little 27 . The Scots in particular are very 28 of their separate nationality. The Welsh too do not regard   29 as English, and have a culture and even a   30 of their own.
　　Ireland became part of the United Kingdom in 1801, but for forty years the “Irish 31  ” was the greatest headache of the United Kingdom. 32 , Ireland is divided into two: Northern Ireland still 33 to the United Kingdom, and in 1922 the rest of Ireland   34  to found an Irish Free State, later called Eire and now the Republic of Ireland.
　　The Republic of Ireland does not regard itself as part of Britain, and is not now even a supporter of the Commonwealth of Nations (英联邦). Unlike the major Commonwealth countries it did not lift a finger to   35 British in the Second World War and now wants the whole of Ireland to be a republic.

As you are students of English, it’s very possible that you’ll be interested in England. That’s where the language was first spoken. But England is often called by other names. This often confuses people and I wonder if you know what these names mean. So, now I would like to tell you about this matter of names. I believe that you have heard people use the names—England, Britain or Great Britain. Let’s see what each of these names means.

If you look at a map of Europe, you’ll see a group of islands--one larger island off the northwest coast, one smaller and many tiny ones. These make up what is called the British Isles. The largest island of the British Isles is Britain. It is also called Great Britain. The smaller island is Ireland.

Britain is divided into three parts: Scotland, Wales and England. But sometimes the word “England” is used instead of “Britain”. Why so?

In ancient times, what is Britain now used to be three different countries. People in these different countries spoke different languages. Over many years the three countries became one. England is the largest and richest of the three and it has the most people. So the English people take it for granted that their own name stands for the whole island.

There’s another thing that confuses people: sometimes you may hear people say “the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland”. That is the official name of the country. Northern Ireland is only one sixth of the island of Ireland. The rest of the island is an independent state, called the Republic of Ireland. So we have the names of “England”, “Britain”, “Great Britain”, and “the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland”. Now do you know what each of them means?

Most people around the world are right-handed. This also seems to be true in history. In 1799, scientists studied works of art made at different times from 1,500 B.C. to the 1950s. Most of the people shown in these works are right-handed, so the scientists guessed that right-handedness has always been common through history. Today, only about 10% to 15% of the world’s population is left-handed.

Why are there more right-handed people than left-handed ones? Scientists now know that a person’s two hands each have their own jobs. For most people, the hand is used to find things or hold things. The right hand is used to work with things. This is because of the different work of the two sides of the brain. The right side of the brain, which makes a person’s hands and eyes work together, controls the left hand. The left-side of the brain, which controls the right hand, is the centre for thinking and doing problems. These findings show that more artists should be left-handed, and studies have found that left-handedness is twice as common among artists as among people in other jobs.

No one really knows what makes a person become right-handed instead of left-handed. Scientists have found that almost 40% of the people become left-handed because their main brain is damaged when they are born. However, this doesn’t happen to everyone, so scientists guess there must be another reason why people become left-handed. One idea is that people usually get right-handed from their parents. If a person does not receive the gene(基因) for right-handedness, he / she may become either right-handed or left-handed according to the chance and the people they work or live with.

Though right-handedness is more common than left-handedness, people no longer think left-handed people are strange or unusual. A long time ago, left-handed children were made to use their right hands like other children, but today they don’t have to.

1.After studying works of art made at different times in history, the scientists found _______.

A. the art began from 1,500 B.C.

B. the works of art ended in the 1950s

C. most people shown in the works of art are right-handed

D. most people shown in the works of art are left-handed

2.How many people in the world are left-handed now?

A．Less than one sixth. B．More than a half.

C．About 40%. D．The passage doesn’t tell us.

3.What is the hand for most people used to do?

A．It’s used to find or hold things.

B．It’s used to work with things.

C．It’s used to make a person’s eyes work together.

D．It’s the centre for thinking and doing problems.

4.According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?

A．No one really knows what makes a person become right-handed.

B．Left-handedness is cleverer than right-handedness.

C．Today children are not made to use their right hands only.

D．Scientists think there must be some reason why people become left-handed.

5.The best title for this passage is _______.

A．Scientists’ New Inventions B．Left-handed People

C．Which Hand D．Different Brains, Different Hands

Buses are celebrating their 100th anniversary. About 80 percent of all public-transport passengers worldwide are carried by buses.

The bus is a very efficient mode of transport, being cheap, flexible, comfortable and, in many cases, tailored to the needs of users both in terms of capacity and speed. Buses operate in mixed traffic, and are easy to put in service.

From an economic, environmental and social point of view, the bus remains the best solution to the problem of achieving balanced and environmentally-friendly urban development. Indeed, the bus is the only mode of public transport in many of the world’s cities, and plays a key supporting role in cities with rail transport.

Over the past decades, increased use of roads by private cars has contributed to terrible traffic problems, affecting the speed of buses as well, and hence their service quality, reliability, energy consumption, and economy. In such circumstances, the efficiency and performance of buses depends heavily on special lanes. Various forms are possible----from a mere painted mark on the road to more expensive variants such as elevated lanes, movable barriers, and “bus locks”.

A related trend is to look beyond vehicle technology alone and to consider the wider system, of which buses are a part, such as the infrastructure(基础设施)and other operational aspects of city. This is commonly known and promoted as the “bus-system approach”. Other key innovations(革新) include clean engines, alternative fuels, and guidance devices. In terms of the designs of buses, much of what has happened to light rail can be transferred to them, including the shapes of the vehicles themselves.

The energy consumption of a bus per passenger is one-sixth that of a car, and buses are only responsible for about 5% of the CO2 emissions generated by vehicles at present.

1. From this passage we learn that_____________.

A. buses are the most environmentally-friendly of all motorized vehicles

B. buses were first used more than a century ago

C. most passengers prefer trains to buses

D. a bus has a much larger capacity than any other vehicle

2. What has affected the service quality of buses?

A. Unsuitable infrastructure. B. Private cars.

C. The increasing population of cities.

D. Very rapid urban development.

3. Which of the following is an approach to improving bus service?

A. Improving the speed of buses.

B. Reducing the number of private cars.

C. Setting up special lanes for buses.

D. Increasing the number of buses.

4. From the passage we can infer that in the future_____________.

A. there will be more buses than today

B. bus engines will need no power

C. buses will be replaced by other means of transport

D. the appearance of buses will change
